THE official recognition ol thl Bfitllh
OVWVign'l Urthda> today us sinniiicant
for many i ea.vn*.
Que.ii Elizabeth 11 was born on April
21, 1926. but the observance of her birth-
day on June 5 continues a practice estab-
lished during the reign uf her father whose
birthday was on December 14.
The suggestion has been made recently
in the Press of the United Kingdom that
Queen Elizabeth's birthday should be
celebrated on Kmpiir Day, the birthday of
Queen Victoria. The reason for this sug-
gestion was that identification of the two
celebrations would strengthen the bonds
which unite the separate parts of the Brit-
ish Empire.
The suggestion is worthy of considera-
tion.
During the last two decades the word
"empire" has been grossly abused by
people tVhn could sec in it only an exploi-
tation by superior peoples of subject races
of inferior status. The dropping of the
title "Emperor of India" in 1947 by his
late Majesty King George VI was sym-
bolic of the changed mentality.
Today the word "Empire" is everywhere
unpopular throughout the British Empire
and the word "Commonwealth" has been
substituted on many occasions.
Yet there is nothing shameful in the
word "Empire." The motto of the Royal
Empire Society "iinperium et libcrtas."
best illustrate* the real meaning of
Empire Without large settled peaceful i
areas where law and order are respected
and cherished as the essentials of civilised
living, "liberlas" or freedom is impossible.
The triumph of the British Empire has
been precisely the contribution of law and
order to vast areas of the world.
The wild outbursts of nationalism in the
20th century have dimmed peoples' per-
ceptions of the true facts of Empire.
Writers of histories have seen Great
Britain not as a great civilising influence
but as a ruthless European power unfurl-
ing it-* Man in every corner of the globe
and subduing many peoples to the inter-
ests of the imperial people.
The facts are so different. From what-
ever angle the building of the British
Empire is studied it is impossible to
escape from the conclusion that, whatever
the detects ol individual Hnliah adminis-
trators, private individuals or government
bureaucra- On- Brttith way of life, repre-
sentative as it is of the highest and best of
European elvlllMtion, has conferred more
blessings than curses in the countries i.f
the Empire to which it has been exported
Today on Queen Elizabeth's first official
birthday since succeeding to the British
throne there is great need for reflection
and consideration of the Empire over
which she reigns.
Wo longer can it be said that the British
wav of lift i" 'he dominant pattern of the
strange non-homogeneous collection of
states to which the unsatisfactory title
"British Commonwealth" is given.
India and Pakistan the largest and most
thickly populated parts of that Common-
wealth are sovereign states linked tenu-
ously and experimentally to the British
Gbwrn. Who can foretell the future of the
Indian continent, and what reason is there
for believing that the British role in India
will not be completely forgotten before
this century ends?
The future of the African continent can-
not be foreseen. In the Gold Coast com-
plete independence is prophesied by 1956
Such an event will have repercussions
across the continent. The destiny of South
Africa seems fraught with mischief and
the policies being pursued by Dr. Malan's
government are fundamentally opposed to
all that is meant by the British way of life.
In the l'acitic New Zealand remains the
most British of all the Dominions but her
destinu-.-. are linked with the continent of
Australia upon whoso shoulders has fallen
the onerous task of defending the free
peoples of the Pacilic from the onslaughts
of Oriental Communist or other impel lu-
istic aggression.
Nearer to the Caribbean the great
Dominion of Canada continues to stride
ahead of die other countries of the world
holding a unique economic position in the
British Commonwealth and playing an
ever increasing role as an independent na-
tion in world councils.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has in-
herited not an Empire, but a Common-
wealth of Nations in a state of flux.
Historians will remember her reign
either as the period of greater disintegra-
tion of the Commonwealth or as an age
when the conception of Empire was re-
stored to its rightful place of honour as
dflODttng a MtUM wav of life favourable
to the pursuits of peace and congenial to
human nappiness. There are no indications
that present trends will lead in this latter
direction but those who reflect today on
what British rule has meant for Barbados
during the last :i2j years will find especial
significance in the fact that the island still
observes Her Majesty's birthday with feel-
ings of genuine affection and loyally.
Barbadians at least arc proud to style
themselves citizens of Her Majesty's
Empii'-.

OtMSHgUCUSM Crttlcism of Educa-
tional systems. It m thai OtrOti
i tppearod i" have been dehber-
at, iy personal then I murd ask
'ne public lo believe that I
had no intention of introducing
lillttl into the issue.
1 should like now to try to
examine J. E. B's complaints as
enumerated m Education Notes
of 1st June. He asserts" (a) that
piecemeal changes made in the
Educational system put It out
of gear." If the system is 'out ot
gear' (I have my doubbj about
(his), then 1 am sure that this
is not because the changes were
introduced gradually (or piece-
meal). Does J.E.U., imagine
that II ix on oe^y task for even
i vi n: to conceive
nf a complete plan Of Educa-
tion which will operate without
a hitch; or, again, if such a plan
were conceiveable, would not
'tivenrss be lnllueiieed
by the economic and other on-
raderatlons of the community lo
which It is applied ? Educa-
tional systems develop, they ore
t |adduced en masse.
Complaint (b) reads: 'that

sory Education Is wrong!

topic. It was much talked of in
the early nitinrrn thltllOB when,
having regard to all the IgaplL
cations and difficulties of Com-
pulsory Education, a Commis-
sion of Enquiry in session at
thai DM, intimated that the
Colony's Mnances did not allow
or such a step being laken Hun
(Report of this Commission at
Public Library). Compulsory
Education now. speakinn still of
the financial aspect, is hkc.y to
involve a recurrent expenditure
of probably more than double
that of the present year in eddi-
tion to an extensive programme
cf capital expenditure (cf. re-
port of Commission). ... E. B
will notice that here again
there must of necessity be grad-
i. I iictelopment.
As regards age.grouping
llus system, i believe, is based
on a psycholoKlc-1 Uftgor* Jsd
seeks to facilitate the teaching
of children grouped togetnr;
cording to each one's mental
Ud chrunological deve'ooment.

tred as follows Is it not more

age-groupini;.
Complaint (c)"The ttnTTttlH
of Elementary Educatioc has
been lowered." 1 cannot sub-
Oibe to tbis view because I
do not know it to !>.- boa.
Perhaps J.E.B. has in his pos-
seislon such evidence as would
prOM this allegation meoMro.
vertibly, Perrsftssi j k.b. irould
be able to indicate, for example,
what percentage of elementary
school children, aged ten. had
reached a standard of proficien-
cy In Readinf, Artthri i I
Writing In i3i and what per-
centage reached this standard
in 1951 (when x is the Ideal
standard and 1831 the year of
highest tuslrunenl la these sub-
Elementary Schools).
Supposing an analysis along
these line*, could bo ,
would the deductions from such
ll" prove conclusively the
trend of EDCCATION OVW the
particular period, or do we ha
a more eipaissllo vision
what Education is?
Tho who can kill or CUTO
any plan of Education are the
teachers. Theirs to a great ex-
tent, is the task of lowing this
earth a better or worse Discs Of
abode. If they con all i i

Then he subsides and his eyes tell their1
mute story of suffering in the war and the
long ordeal of governing an occupied coun-
try.
In Dachau he was whipped to insensibil-
ity for talking politics with his fellow pris-
oners. As a competent architect he was
graciously invited by the Nazis to design a
larger and better incinerator, but managed
to bungle the plans so badly that it was
never built.
His task now is to maintain discipline and
hope in a tiny little country that was oncv
the centre of the great Austro-Hungarian
Empire. He hears the young men say: "You
cannot live on history and scenery." He,
hears the cynics say: "In the war Asia came;
to us in a day."
In London he is received by the Queen
and dines with Mr. Churchill. The little man!
With the undying flame of courage believes'
that Austria will live again, even as he lived
again after Dachau.
FAROVK- TOO
BUT not alt brave men are small. King|
Farouk is outsize, a fact which was para-
graphed extensively when he played the
European casinos a couple of years ago.
It is rumoured that recently he was shot
in the leg by a Wafdist, and that the would-
be assassin was killed. The king is said to
have shown the utmost coolness.
I was talking to Sir Louis Greig about this
and he said: "But Farouk is a brave man-
Years ago he was staying here as a young
cadet and lived on an estate in Kingston.
As deputy ranger of Richmond Park I had
to keep an eye on him, especially when he
was jumping on horseback.
Then one day I got a message that hisj
father King Fuad was dead and I had to
tell him. He was out jumping hurdles at the
time with great spirit but damned little
skill. In fact the horse didn't know what I
to make of it."
Solemnly and mournfully Louis broke the
news lo the young man. Farouk-nodded his
head sadly and then said: "Well. I'll tinish
tliCsM i'>ur jumps and then I'll go in."
"Sir," said Louis, "You will do nothing of
the sort. We can't have two kings of Egypt
die on the same day."
PROPHET?
DO you agree that heroism has no shape ?
I met "Kirinsky n-n years after his revolu-
tion had dethroned the Czar. A revolution
in the spring of 1917 which was a mere cur-
tain-raiser to the Bolshevik revolution in
November.
Kercnsky's head is roundmore Prussian
than Russianand he is thick-set without
being fat. "I gave Russia live months' free-
dom," he said, "and a nation that has tasted
freedom if only for live months will never
rest until it has it again."
He may be right, although I suspected at
the time" that he was rehearsing his own
verdict for the benefit of history.
FOR WOMEN ONLY
BEFORE me on my writing table is a
high-class American magazine opened at a
page which is tastefully decorated with a
pretty hand showing a modest ring on the
third linger. The whole thing is an adver-
tisement under the heading: "Widow ?
Divorcee?"
"Something new and important", it
declares. "At long last a symbol of your
true marital status Until now the lack
of such means of disclosure may have
given rise to socially difficult situations.
Yet you have been properly reluctant to i
dispense with your wedding ringwhile ;
wishing to avert the implication it con- j
tnvys. IVrhaps subconsciously you have |
longed for some tacit symbol which ,
would reveal your precise position in the
social paltern. For you, then, in response
t'i that urgent need, we offer you . ."
How delicately put .The lady is labelled
by the ring, and all you have to find out is
whether she is a widow or a divorcee. Truly
the Americans think of everything.
Let card players take note that Iain
Macleod. who has just been catapulted from
the back-benchers to Minister of Health at
a very early age. is a bridge expert. Not for
him the placidities of whist, the gangsterism
in Canasta.
Bridge is a game of the intellect. It demands
psychology, logic, daring, caution, intuition, deduc-
tion and patience. Canasta is not a game for me.
It is as essentially feminine as the South American
background from which it came.
A friend tried to seduce Mr. Churchill Into
learning it, but he wisely refused to be trapped

JOKE OVER
MRS. NFVIIXE Chamberlain's brother. Horace
I>e Vere Cole, was a great practical joker as Augus-
tus John reminds us in his recent book.
Even when Augustus John went to his funeral
some doubts as lo whether he was really
dead or would pop up from the coffin.
One of his best jokes was when, with an accom-
plice (both of them dressed as workmen), he roped
off a portion of Piccadilly and spent two days tak-
ing up the road.
But his spirit lives after him. His achievement

(;EORGE BERNARD SHAW, who did not like
photographers any more than he liked report-
era, was moved by thoso pictures to send one ol his
lomouB postcards : 'Give Moralh my address and
send me his. Wo must give inlo direct communica-
tion. I will give him a sittinq. He is first rate. I
have never soon better photographs. G.B.S."
ADOLF MORATH'S reputation indeed stands high
among photographors. His portrait ol Walerlord
larmer (No. 1061 was awarded an international
diploma in 19S0. And here, in more than 170 super-
lative photographs, he has captured the elusive
spirit ol Ireland.
THE BOOK is just what its title calls it a composite
portrait ol a country and its people. He shows us
the great and lowly, the men and women and
children ol Ireland, the land they live in. the work
they do and the games they play, their cities and
their villages, the vibrant lile ol Dublin, the moors
ol Connemara, and the wild Atlantic breakers on
the Kerry CliHs.
HERE ARE A FEW COMMENTS Irom the Irish press
alter a preview ol these photographs :
"Mr." Morath has captured Ireland as it is".
Standard.
"An unique presentation of technically perfect
photographsa death-blow to the stage Irish tra-
dition." Marie O'Reilly in Ihe Irish Independent.
"I can honestly say that it is quite the best thinq of
its kind that I have seen."The Irish Times.

June .. 1>52 How Will IIWI Federation lie I iii.im <eelopiii4-iil and Welfare ltepi i \sks I M V I II I THE official recognition ol thl Bfitllh OVWVign'l Urthda> today us sinniiicant for many i ea.vn*. Que.ii Elizabeth 11 was born on April 21, 1926. but the observance of her birthday on June 5 continues a practice established during the reign uf her father whose birthday was on December 14. The suggestion has been made recently in the Press of the United Kingdom that Queen Elizabeth's birthday should be celebrated on Kmpiir Day, the birthday of Queen Victoria. The reason for this suggestion was that identification of the two celebrations would strengthen the bonds which unite the separate parts of the British Empire. The suggestion is worthy of consideration. During the last two decades the word "empire" has been grossly abused by people tVhn could sec in it only an exploitation by superior peoples of subject races of inferior status. The dropping of the title "Emperor of India" in 1947 by his late Majesty King George VI was symbolic of the changed mentality. Today the word "Empire" is everywhere unpopular throughout the British Empire and the word "Commonwealth" has been substituted on many occasions. Yet there is nothing shameful in the word "Empire." The motto of the Royal Empire Society "iinperium et libcrtas." best illustrate* the real meaning of Empire Without large settled peaceful i areas where law and order are respected and cherished as the essentials of civilised living, "liberlas" or freedom is impossible. The triumph of the British Empire has been precisely the contribution of law and order to vast areas of the world. The wild outbursts of nationalism in the 20th century have dimmed peoples' perceptions of the true facts of Empire. Writers of histories have seen Great Britain not as a great civilising influence but as a ruthless European power unfurling it-* Man in every corner of the globe and subduing many peoples to the interests of the imperial people. The facts are so different. From whatever angle the building of the British Empire is studied it is impossible to escape from the conclusion that, whatever the detects ol individual Hnliah administrators, private individuals or government bureaucraOnBrttith way of life, representative as it is of the highest and best of European elvlllMtion, has conferred more blessings than curses in the countries i.f the Empire to which it has been exported Today on Queen Elizabeth's first official birthday since succeeding to the British throne there is great need for reflection and consideration of the Empire over which she reigns. Wo longer can it be said that the British wav of lift i" 'he dominant pattern of the strange non-homogeneous collection of states to which the unsatisfactory title "British Commonwealth" is given. India and Pakistan the largest and most thickly populated parts of that Commonwealth are sovereign states linked tenuously and experimentally to the British Gbwrn. Who can foretell the future of the Indian continent, and what reason is there for believing that the British role in India will not be completely forgotten before this century ends? The future of the African continent cannot be foreseen. In the Gold Coast complete independence is prophesied by 1956 Such an event will have repercussions across the continent. The destiny of South Africa seems fraught with mischief and the policies being pursued by Dr. Malan's government are fundamentally opposed to all that is meant by the British way of life. In the l'acitic New Zealand remains the most British of all the Dominions but her destinu-.-. are linked with the continent of Australia upon whoso shoulders has fallen the onerous task of defending the free peoples of the Pacilic from the onslaughts of Oriental Communist or other impel luistic aggression. Nearer to the Caribbean the great Dominion of Canada continues to stride ahead of die other countries of the world holding a unique economic position in the British Commonwealth and playing an ever increasing role as an independent nation in world councils. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has inherited not an Empire, but a Commonwealth of Nations in a state of flux. Historians will remember her reign either as the period of greater disintegration of the Commonwealth or as an age when the conception of Empire was restored to its rightful place of honour as dflODttng a MtUM wav of life favourable to the pursuits of peace and congenial to human nappiness. There are no indications that present trends will lead in this latter direction but those who reflect today on what British rule has meant for Barbados during the last :i2j years will find especial significance in the fact that the island still observes Her Majesty's birthday with feelings of genuine affection and loyally. Barbadians at least arc proud to style themselves citizens of Her Majesty's Empii'-.

In Dachau he was whipped to insensibility for talking politics with his fellow prisoners. As a competent architect he was graciously invited by the Nazis to design a larger and better incinerator, but managed to bungle the plans so badly that it was never built. His task now is to maintain discipline and hope in a tiny little country that was oncv the centre of the great Austro-Hungarian Empire. He hears the young men say: "You cannot live on history and scenery." He, hears the cynics say: "In the war Asia came; to us in a day." In London he is received by the Queen and dines with Mr. Churchill. The little man! With the undying flame of courage believes' that Austria will live again, even as he lived again after Dachau. FAROVKTOO BUT not alt brave men are small. King| Farouk is outsize, a fact which was paragraphed extensively when he played the European casinos a couple of years ago. It is rumoured that recently he was shot in the leg by a Wafdist, and that the wouldbe assassin was killed. The king is said to have shown the utmost coolness. I was talking to Sir Louis Greig about this and he said: "But Farouk is a brave manYears ago he was staying here as a young cadet and lived on an estate in Kingston. As deputy ranger of Richmond Park I had to keep an eye on him, especially when he was jumping on horseback. Then one day I got a message that hisj father King Fuad was dead and I had to tell him. He was out jumping hurdles at the time with great spirit but damned little skill. In fact the horse didn't know what I to make of it." Solemnly and mournfully Louis broke the news lo the young man. Farouk-nodded his head sadly and then said: "Well. I'll tinish tliCsM i'>ur jumps and then I'll go in." "Sir," said Louis, "You will do nothing of the sort. We can't have two kings of Egypt die on the same day." PROPHET? DO you agree that heroism has no shape ? I met "Kirinsky n-n years after his revolution had dethroned the Czar. A revolution in the spring of 1917 which was a mere curtain-raiser to the Bolshevik revolution in November. Kercnsky's head is roundmore Prussian than Russianand he is thick-set without being fat. "I gave Russia live months' freedom," he said, "and a nation that has tasted freedom if only for live months will never rest until it has it again." He may be right, although I suspected at the time" that he was rehearsing his own verdict for the benefit of history. FOR WOMEN ONLY BEFORE me on my writing table is a high-class American magazine opened at a page which is tastefully decorated with a pretty hand showing a modest ring on the third linger. The whole thing is an advertisement under the heading: "Widow ? Divorcee?" "Something new and important", it declares. "At long last a symbol of your true marital status Until now the lack of such means of disclosure may have given rise to socially difficult situations. Yet you have been properly reluctant to i dispense with your wedding ringwhile ; wishing to avert the implication it conj tnvys.
